Summary - THE OLD RECTORY BROMPTON RALPH TAUNTON TA4 2RY
Panoramic southerly views to the Blackdown Hills
Set on an elevated site with panoramic views across the West Somerset Vale towards the Blackdown Hills, The Old Rectory is a substantial Victorian rectory arranged over three floors with almost 4,940 sq ft of well-presented living space. Original period detail — sash windows, high ceilings, stripped floors and open fireplaces — combines with modernised kitchen and living areas to suit family life and entertaining.
The estate includes about 15.51 acres of paddocks and meadows, a well-equipped stable yard with five loose boxes, tack room and feed store, a substantial open barn and a large sand school. Wide gravelled parking, double plus single garages and a separate gated entrance for larger vehicles make the property practical for equestrian use and visitors.
Practical considerations are important: the house has oil-fired boiler heating (radiators and some underfloor heating) and an EPC rating of F. The original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated and further energy-efficiency improvements may be required. Council tax is very expensive and a public footpath crosses a section of the north‑eastern boundary.
This property will suit families or equestrian owners seeking a private country base with immediate riding facilities and scope to manage or improve energy performance. Its remoter hamlet setting provides tranquillity and direct access to bridlepaths and Exmoor National Park, about two miles away.
